Mr.Gary’s Consideration

Juno Rocket is well-known as a software design and development firm located in the Silicon Valley. Its customers range from startups to Fortune 500 companies.

Mr. Gary is CEO&Founder of this company, his current online store is Magento 1.9.2 platform and he wants to switch to new version of Magento. He shared:

“So what we wanted to do was to convert from this existing 1.9 store to the new Magento 2 platform, more recently is the 2.2 version. The trouble was the standard procedure outlined by Magento just doesn’t fly when you’re trying to migration one to the other…”

The solution of converting and maintaining database is always the top concern for all ecommerce business. It’s absolutely true with Gary!

“There were a lot of products in this catalog, probably say like 10.000 products. So it was quite a bit of stuff to migrate over ….”

While he was very curious to move to the latest version of Magento, but having no knowledge of data migration, Gary had a hard time managing by himself.

“It’s just a mess over the months we had tried it a couple different ways and it just did not work out” – He said.

“So what we was came up with was this idea to use an extension. These guys over here is LitExtension. They actually have a migration tool that you can use to migrate from one existing platform to another. They have a whole bunch for our interest thought. We were only concerned about going from Magento 1.9.2 to Magento 2.2.”

Harry was so happy to share his experience after he found the right solution – LitExtension.

What makes LitExtension wonderful?

If you come up with the idea of LitExtension, data is not only converted quickly, fully automated but also secured. That is the most important of the reasons made Gary feel pleased.

“What’s nice about tool is they don’t keep your data. So basically it’s just a straight migration from store to store. It’s not like it, goes up to their site then back down to yours.

The data never leave to your two stores. So…

What we ended up doing to solve this problem was we loaded up the target site on site ground, we set up a store there – Magento 2.2 and boom as soon as we did that.

We were able to populate the site on site ground and from then, we just copied it back down to the customer server behind there nodded firewall.”

After using Magento migration tool

As well as many other LitExtension customers, Gary Moore is particularly pleased with our service. He carefully checked again and, all the data including orders, customers, products, …were moved accurately to the new site.

“The new site is beautiful. So all we really did with this was so far we just brought the products in which brings in the attributes and the attributes sets.

We were fearful that you know a lot of this could get tangled up and mixed up. And you know there was some work to do. But it didn’t take long to just kind of get it ironed out and looking really beautiful”
